Critical praise for Tarnished Heels: Dr. David Ridpath of The Drake Group

“Fantastic and illuminating read. This book is ultimately a modern day tragedy in that it exposes, with excruciating detail and facts, how one of America’s best public institutions sold its soul for the perceived benefits of athletic glory at the expense of core values and academic integrity. Despite years of claiming the Carolina Way and doing it right, the University of North Carolina, like so many other institutions before it, has now firmly placed itself amongst the worst offenders of academic integrity in intercollegiate athletic history."

Dr. B. David Ridpath, Ed.D., Kahandas Nandola Professor of Sport Management at Ohio University and author of Tainted Glory: Marshall University, The NCAA, and One Man’s Fight for Justice.
